I said that all-the stirroundings and appar
tenances of my friend's house-plate and pIRn
tation extijbited order hnd -nagement; and
,it is fru~e, for with all ls'idiosycrasies he has
been a successful f'irmer, and tbwonfer to
his friends is-how he makes so much or rath
er made so much upon such worn otrt.lands.
With all his theories and. visionary 'projects
he is shrewdly practical, sharp as a steel trap
but with much native Warulth Aind goodness
of heart, which has perhaps beei obscured by
long contact and attrition *ith tbeworld, but
w ich in early life was an attractive feature
in his character, a depth of reeling and senti
ment rarely found and which in its fresh
bloom was a relief to eyes and hgerts hack
neyed with the conventionalities Of a town or
village life. One would scarcely suppose in
looking upon that careless ex,erior that-at the
age of twenty-one it enshrined a heart alive
to' the most refined feelings and emotions, with
the most delicate shades of sentiment, anc
that it w-is "the'gla's of fashion and the mould
of forrj" And, yet, well do I remember hiin
when he bore himself with the air and mien
of one Vf Nature's noble sons, and his - form
was strikingly elegant which his early. ]Dve of
dress enhancedwith all the*factitious aids of
fashion. 'His wardrobe%as the wonder of all
his acquaintgnce and he squandered 'nonsy
with that profuness which only young.nW-n
of-a certain class- can ao. There was no end
of fine boots and shoes ,fi his bachelor apart
ments, and vests and coats of all kinds and
styles from flashy to genteel. He kept the
finest horses and no one wns a better judge,4
horse,fiesh. le rode better thaii most or -all
of his compeers, and he appeared to a great
advantage on horseback especially upon the
beautifulsorrel mare called Fannie, wbich even
tQ my untutored eye "was a love of an. ani
wal" to use a feminine phrase. He excelled,
too, in those rural sports of hunting and fish
ing, and in marksmanship at shooting match'esi
and his natural shrewdness or sharpness was
not suffered to rust by the kind of associates
and companionship which he met at Liberty
Hall, where they were fully developed in his
contact with the hard, keen-wits of the back
woodsmen who engaged in the practices be
fore alluded to in a former chapter. Wooe to
the luckless wight who unwarily7-engage~d in
ahors0trade with him.in after years, or tp
the spooney w'io engaged him in cards or
pitted a cock against his thorough breds in a
fight. But these were the exceVs or excres
censms of youth fosteted by 4s proximity to
the notorious locality before all-uded toothe
r(ewing of the vild oats of youth, whilst un
derneath all Kis there ley' feciings of the ten
derest character, affections of the warmest na
tu'e, a love fortisters and brothers and ot.her
relations'in proportion, which almost edeema
ed him from these. youthful irregulaiities. lHe
bad great quickness of.mind', and his intellec
tual parts were quite above mediocritf, and
the clffssies and mathematics at school 'were
no stumbling blocks to him as to many of his
cotemporaries or school fellows. His bro,
which, with his hazel eyes, are his finest fea
tures, also, is indicative of mind. The latter at:e
also susceptileof a softness, which if -not
habitual to him in later life, was formerly, and
sometiEles yet lends benignity to ihe expres
sion of his face. 'But I was speaking of his
ment.al capacity, and this reminds me of*. his
application to enter the South Carolina Col
lege when he was a youith. He rode .to Co
umbia and made application with the most.
promising success, 'but his 'freedom from re
strainO n his previous life could not ;br'ook
the idea of College rules ana regulations, so
he turned round mounted.his hors and was
seeni no more within the Cdillege walls. He
studied4-aw, and w.th every prospect of suc
cess in that profesGAon still preferref a life in
the country and the 'occupation which was his
inheritance and M~o thig manorborx'" namely~
farminig or planiting;. -But I have made a long
episode in this-somewhat elaborate portrait*
of my friend and will Aow return-to'the pdint
of divergen& where I had arrived at the
gate of his residence after ' unset. ft ws
situated on a rather elevated point with the
ground sloping awray gradually 'on all sides,
which made the plac.e look high an~d dry, and1
with oaks around ih6 hodise'the' place has a
pleasant situation. The- house is a plaint
country residence n ith no pretension to ar
chitectural bcauty, being only an o'rdinary
framed painted house w ith piaza in front.
This is not the hereditary mansion or rather
the family mansion, which is a mile further
on at the point where four roads meet, a large
red brick hzouse which in its isolated situation
looks almost like acastle ; but more of this
anon. The greeting from my 'friend's wife
was somewhat in character (when to her sur
prise I walked in with her husband and daugh
ter, and found her with their youngest pledge
in her arms,) "you are the last person I' ex-,
*Those whod righ~lt tink this pIirtrait over

original in its present frame and setting, might
be inclined to use the wordsof Shakespeaire atnd
say "Look -on this picture, then on that" must
ma'ke due allowance for the modifying hand of
time and circum.stances whieh'often change the
character as well as the outward man and if my
friend has not now a hand and- heart "open as
day to :nelting charity", or is not so free-banded
asin his youth, bu~t cliing.s.losely no'w to what h.e
squandeed in.outh, it wil.or ou~ght to be re
memnbered that such is the result of experience
and observation,as a youth of prodig-ditv is often
reversed by an old age of elkte and ril'd econo

nei of .welcoming e -1 had no reas.n td
6inplain of my manfier of entertainment dur
ing my stay, for in te absence of some of the
frippei ies and wselesg elegances, of life, there
was every creature comfort and above All strjt
neatness-and o,rder. At supper and'brea,fast
there was the very' best of butter and, milk
with he richest creamy buiscuits 4 d, fried
chicken, as well ts some luiuriei and detica
cies in addition. -At dinner, to these viands,
were add d others nrore substantial, and what
was a treat to me, deliciops h'oney.' 'in the
morning when I ros and lifted the curtajo
from one of the windows of my airy .upper
chamber-to look for tb sun I found that
Phoebus had risen on the opposite side. to
wher, I-expected to see his glowing.face, or as
it seend to me in the west. Tbis had always
cbeen the case in former V'Ibits in formier *years
when in this part of the country, but I bad
forgotten the circumstaice at the t4me. I
was completely turned round, and did not get
right till I retarned home, My hostess still

of her more youthful days, though a matron
with eight childreri. She has not'eitber quite
abandoned the lighter accomplishmerta of her

quicksteps upon her piano, which still retains
ito excellent tone as in days. of yore. The

of the two ladies,.* The young housekeeper
employed herself during the day whilst in the
sitting room in. winding cottoa yarn. v ith a
